Listen to this article

An industrial building in Westbury has two new tenants. 

Sunrise Candy leased 11,000 square feet of industrial space at 27 New York Ave. in Westbury. The company, which also has a location in Plainview, is expanding.  

The other new tenant is All Pro Automotive, which leased 8,388 square feet of industrial space in the same building, which has a different address at 18 Sylvester St., since it runs from New York Avenue through to Sylvester Street. 

The Westbury property was purchased by New Tiger International in Jan. 2018 for $3 million. The company, which processes, imports, and distributes several varieties of dried, frozen, fresh, and canned mushrooms, along with some tofu products, had occupied the building for a few years, but decided to leave the property since it has another 26,142-square-foot building nearby at 117 State St. in Westbury and a 33,500-square-foot building in Bellport it purchased for $4.75 million in Jan. 2019.  

Danny Paggy of Commercial Industrial Hub and Jason Auffarth of Shalom & Zuckerbrot represented Sunrise Candy, while Dan Gazzola and Chuck Tabone of Newmark represented All Pro Automotive, as well as the landlord, Westbury Fortune Development LLC, in both Westbury lease transactions.
